Not only is Staub pleasing to look at, it performs as well. I received my set shortly after Christmas, and have made chili, marinara sauce and sauteed veggies, all cooked consistently and clean up was a breeze. The sauce pot is so pretty I leave it on my stove top all the time.

I went back and forth between Staub and LeCreuset. The self basting spikes, the matte black interior, and the temperature safe knobs sealed the deal for me. I LOVE this cookware. It's a perfect starter set. I use the pan most often, it hardly leaves the stove. The grill pan is also great, gives us beautiful sear marks and helps us feel like we're grilling out in our NYC kitchen. The round oven is very versatile and holds temperature well. Additionally, it is the perfect size for our little family.

All in all, a great set for folks looking to start their enameled cast iron collection.Eventually, I will likely purchase a larger fry pan and dutch oven to augment this set.

Pros: Durable, Size, Versatile

Cons: Weight, Difficult to Store

Love my Staub set

June 18, 2012

I initially agonized between LC and Staub. I made up my mind to go with Staub and went with the 4-piece set as I just needed one cocotte, a fry pan, and thought why not add on the grill pan.

I initially bought the set primarily for the cocotte, but I've actually been using the fry pan the most - it's incredibly versatile! I use it more often than my 10" All-Clad copper core pan. I regularly make gorgeous frittatas with it. I've also used it to make WS's potato leek gratin (I made a 1/2 recipe) and Dutch apple pancake and CIA's English muffin recipe. The pan goes straight from the stovetop to the oven without issue and works great when I finish off frittatas under the broiler. The cocotte is gorgeous, but I’ve only made a few things in it so far: pot roast, ratatouille, and Jim Lahey’s no-knead bread. They all came out very well and I can’t wait to use it more. My poor grill pan is used the least.

It is better than what I expected!!!!I was looking for another Le creuset when I learned about Staub.The blue color is so beautiful and the black color inside is great because you can not see the stains. Food won't stick to the bottom. You will be happy with anything you cook in this pot.I can wait to buy another one. I just love it so much!!!!!!!!

Pros: Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Color, Versatile

Cons: impossible to have only one

A great cooking experience

January 2, 2012

Before I jumped in, I watched the video on the WS site (such a nice service). Just seeing how Staub cookware is made had me convinced I would love it, even though I considered it might be a bit more high maintenance (it isn't). The new cookware set has changed how the food cooked (in a good way) and how it tasted (in a great way). Especially liked the grilled vegetables and the cutlet (made with gardien and panko bread crumbs) fried in olive oil. This new frying pan made it the best ever. A perfect breading/frying experience. It is heavy to lift if you are not up for it. Otherwise, it is very worthy and I highly recommend it.
